In lunfardo it is used as an ortiba ("pimp, snitch"), which tells what should be hidden. It has its origin as an augmentative crop, by two of its meanings: "maximum amount of liquid that fits in the mouth" (which is not endured and that is why it is spit out) and especially "place of the chest where by ethics the secrets are kept".
